I replaced the Deka brand AGMs in my GEM cart with these Duracells. So far/so good. Dekas are over $200 more(each)The weight of these seems to be comparable to the Dekas. Heavier means better when it comes to batteries .

First set lasted 5.5 years and were heavily used (300+ days per year) in an RV we use in business. Great batteries, well made, last long.

Great batteries for trolling motor

I purchased 4 of these to use as a house bank on my boat. While AGM batteries are good for being used as deep cycle batteries, it is still important not to discharge them more than 50%. The greater the discharge, the lower amount of times they can cycled. Prior to this purchase of AGM's I used flooded deep cycle batteries, group 27. I would remove those batteries during the winter to keep them in my garage and put a charger on them once a month. Theses AGM batteries are roughly 80 pounds each; about 15-20 pounds heavier than the deep cycle. AGM's do not self-discharge nearly the amount of flooded wet cell batteries. I now keep the batteries in the boat over winter and saves me a lot of grief. Come spring when I have AC power, I can use the battery charger to top them off. The first year I was surprised how very little charging they needed. Keep in mind that I am charging all 4 at once; they are connected in parallel. My remote charging panel showed 40 amps (I have a 40 amp, 3 stage charger# and within a minute or so dropped to 20 amps #roughly 5 amps per battery#. 10 to 15 minutes later the charging current was down to 10 amps #2.5 amps per battery). So letting the batteries set for 5-6 months over winter took less than 15 minutes to charge. I expect to get at least 7-10 years out of these batteries versus 4-5 years for the flooded deep cycle. Treat these batteries correctly, no more than 50% discharge, good 3 stage charger, and battery temperature sensor, and they should be trouble free for many years. The only gripe I have is the totally lack of information on the voltages for recharging them. I set my charger to the AGM mode. It would be great if the manufacture specified what the voltage should be and specified battery temperatures.

I bought a pair of these 3 years ago. We do a lot of dry camping and use the batteries heavily, keeping a Dish Sat receiver on 24 hrs / day. Charge up 2 or 3 times a day with a Honda gen, can easily go 10 days w/o hookups. One other brand is better, costs $400 elsewhere. I'll buy these again if they fail before we do.

I use this battery to power an inverter for back up on my sump pump. Boaters and RV owners rave about the cost as it is 25% less then any AGM battery of this size, on the market. Sears offers a 24 month warranty, Sam's an 18 month. But for the savings, well worth the difference. Be prepared for a $15 - $16 core charge if you have no old battery to turn in. This is common practice for all car batteries no matter where they were purchased.

Recently built a new vessel, commercially shopped around for batteries, wound up getting these from Sam's! I am using 3 sets of them linked in series for 24VDC and 2 for 12V auxiliary engine starting. Highly reccommended. Hint: These batteries need the new style battery chargers that will not overcharge them.

I purchased two of these for my class A motor home. I hooked them in parallel which replaced the two wet cell batteries. Now I do not worry about checking water levels. The first day I installed them I ran the motor homes ventilation fan for about 6 hours and the battery charge panel showed that they were still close to fully charged.

I bought this for a 2 week dry camping trip in the Smokies to replace a smaller size 27 Harris wet battery. Performance was generally disappointing in my 27’ RV under light loads of periodic use for 1-2 LED fixtures, water pump, and appliances that require a little DC to start the propane gas up (Fridge, Water heater). I would kill the generator at 8pm and fully charged, are above usage started until maybe 11pm. I turned off everything before bed. By morning my battery monitor was frequently reporting 40-50% remaining. This is not a true RV deep cycle battery. It’s a hybrid with both cranking and cycling design. I believe a pure deep cycle battery is a better way to go. This one will save you some money if you want an AGM to replace an older, smaller wet battery.

I purchased two of theses batteries. One stopped excepting a charging at 25 months. The other one is still working going on 30 months. Both of my batteries are on a continuous charging system in between fishing trips. I put a lot of research in to this battery. Was hoping for better.
